Thread: Multithreading

Please explain the flow of execution of this code...


// Create multiple threads
class NewThread implements Runnable {
String name; // name of thread
Thread t;
NewThread(String threadname) {
name = threadname;
t = new Thread(this, name);
System.out.println("New thread: " + t);
t.start(); // Start the thread
}
// This is the entry point for thread.
public void run() {
try {
for(int i = 5; i > 0; i--) {
System.out.println(name + ": " + i);
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(name + "Interrupted");
}
System.out.println(name + " exiting.");
}
}




class MultiThreadDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
new NewThread("One"); // start threads
new NewThread("Two");
new NewThread("Three");

try {
// wait for other threads to end
Thread.sleep(10000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Main thread Interrupted");
}
System.out.println("Main thread exiting.");
}
}

Welcome to the forum! Please read this topic to learn how to post code correctly and other useful info for new members.

Please ask a specific question, not for an explanation that could go on for days. After you post the code correctly, you might run the code and then explain how you think the code should work and/or describe how what you thought would happen is not the same as what actually happens and ask why.
